– Common infrastructure for all of IT• Application servers, networking and enterprise
scale-out storage within HP BladeSystem
– Reduce network costs • Virtual connect acts as both a LAN and SAN
within the c7000• Use Onboard Administrator and Insight
Management for server, network and storage hardware management
– Utilises High-Density MDS600 Drive Enclosures• Connects to P4800 Nodes via inbuilt SAS
connections
– Lower power/cooling costs • HP Thermal Logic keeps server, storage,
networking equipment power cooling costs low

NEW STORAGE FLEXIBILITY
Start with a smaller footprint• New 2 node configurations• More space for
application servers• 12TB Usable
15U
More choices, higher storage density• 2 new starting capacity points• Field installation for existing c7000’s• Expand up to (8) P4800 nodes
within 1 c7000
Storage high availability across racks or sites

Multi-Site Clustered Storage
• Faster and more efficient vSphereoperation with copy/clone operations, block zero and assisted locking
• VAAI integration built into all P4000 controllers with SANiQ 9 and works across P4000 clusters / pools
• Works with all vSphere 4.1 environments
• VAAI offload scales-out with P4000 clusters
